t-Butyl Silanes
t-Butyl silanes, containing a tert-butyl functional group, are essential reagents in pharmaceutical and organic synthesis. The highly reactive Si-C bond allows for the substitution of active hydrogen groups (such as -OH, -NH2, and -SH) in organic compounds. This makes t-Butyl silanes ideal for protecting functional groups during synthesis. The protection is reversible through hydrolysis or alcoholysis, restoring the original activity. t-Butyl silanes are widely used in the production of antibiotics, insecticides, vitamins, and other organic compounds.
Allyl Silanes
Allyl silanes, with alkoxy groups, are important reagents for silylation and allylation reactions. These silanes are essential intermediates for the synthesis of organic silicone compounds, providing critical functions in various chemical processes.
C-DONOR
Cyclohexylmethyldimethoxysilane (CAS No. 17865-32-6), also known as C-DONOR, is an excellent electron donor and a high-efficiency catalyst additive. It significantly enhances catalyst activity, stereoselectivity, and extends catalyst life. Other catalyst additives are also available from Silico.
Other Intermediates
Bis(trimethylsiloxy)methylsilane (CAS No. 1873-88-7), also called Heptamethyltrisiloxane, is a colorless liquid with a highly active silicon-hydrogen bond. It is used as a raw material for polyether-modified trisiloxane synthesis, a special surfactant for applications in pesticide and paint additives.
Due to limited market demand, these intermediates are produced on an irregular basis. For more information about Silico’s silane intermediates and their applications, please contact the Silico team.

How to Select silane intermediates?
When selecting silane intermediates, consider these factors:
Functional Groups: Choose a silane with the right reactive groups (e.g., tert-butyl, allyl) that will react with specific functional groups in your target molecules.
Application: Ensure the silane matches your application, such as protecting reactive groups or improving solubility.
Compatibility: Check that the silane is compatible with the resin or substrate you’re using for better adhesion and performance.
Environment: Consider factors like temperature and humidity, and choose a silane that remains stable under your operating conditions.
Consult with suppliers for compatibility charts and technical data specific to your needs.
